Bucharest is served by two airports: OTP (Henri Coandă International Airport): Bucharest's main international airport, serving the widest range of domestic and international flights. BBU (Băneasa – Aurel Vlaicu International Airport): A smaller airport primarily serving short-haul European flights, including services operated by Wizz Air and Ryanair. Both airports provide convenient access to the city, but OTP offers the greatest choice of airlines and destinations.

Romania's local currency is the Romanian Leu (RON). Most hotels, restaurants, shops, and bars accept major credit and debit cards, so you won't need to carry much cash. However, it's a good idea to have a small amount of RON on hand for smaller purchases, local markets, or vendors that may not accept cards. ATMs are widely available throughout Bucharest.
